Chauncellor:

No it is different.

If you read carefully my text you'll see that I consider that the
"notification area" should only be populated by docked applications,
that is running applications that usually should stay in the background
doing their thing but that want to leave some small presence in the
panel to allow for quick, and usually simple, interaction with the user.
Think of a media player or a clipboard manager.

The notifications of update-notifier are just notifications. You don't
want to interact with update-notifier. You interact with update-manager.
The old behavior of update notifier would add icons to the notification
area that do no represent running applications, and that don't have any
other purpose than to call other applications, like update-manager or
the restart dialog.  The proposal I presented says that the place for
such "queued" notifications is the indicator-applet.

There is clear and conceptual difference there.
